Article Abstract
Clinicians continue to seek out ways to decrease antibiotic usage and its sequelae for infants with risk factors for Early Onset Sepsis (EOS). We carried out a large system intervention (LSI) to decrease antibiotic usage, decrease the proportion of infants exposed to any antibiotics and evaluate the financial impact of this intervention. Antibiotic use was monitored from January 2018 through June 2020 for infants born at York Hospital ≥ 35 weeks gestation and discharged from Newborn Nursery. LSIs, including the Kaiser Sepsis Calculator, were implemented January-June 2019. Quality metrics were compared 12-months before and after the intervention. Overall, 5021 infants were discharged from the nursery. Antibiotic usage decreased 68% and infant exposure to antibiotics decreased 64%. There was a savings of $697 per at risk newborn and there were no readmissions for EOS. A Systemic LSI can safely reduce newborn antibiotic exposure and create significant cost saving.

Aim: To inventory the content of home pharmacies and evaluate drug keeping and self-medication practices in the households of medical and pharmacy students at Zagreb University in 2022, and to relate the findings to two previous surveys.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey enrolled 178 students who inventoried drug supplies in their family households, and interviewed household members on drug keeping and self-medication practices. Previous surveys included 287 (in 2001) and 225 (in 1977) students/households.

Objectives: The usage of cephalosporins (CEFs) and co-existence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) gene bla in the same host may promote the prevalence of colistin (CST) resistance gene mcr-1. This study aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms how the mcr-1 and bla demonstrate significant co-occurrence in Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Antibiotic resistance is the never-ending war among medical researchers and microbial life forms. The extensive evolving potential of the microorganisms, in combination with improper usage, storage and disposal of the marketed antibiotics generated from natural or artificial sources, always calls for the need for novel antimicrobial agents with different modes of action. In this project, azo-oxime complexes of iron and manganese (seven in total) have been applied to wild multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacterial strains (isolated from sewage water of hospital).
